The problem is that enough people see retro stuff as an "investment" - a way to make money down the line. This is why sealing games in boxes, never to be played again, has become a trend.

Should've put that money into Pokemon Cards instead, they would've been millionares by this point.

That scene is just ridiculous at this point. Fights breaking out in stores, people stealing booster packs from shops, retailers having to limit what they are selling or even stop selling them altogether due to the hassle they are causing. This is all down to people just wanting to make a quick buck at the expense of kids or actual players being able to buy the product.

There's a new Team Rocket set that just got announced and I have already made peace that I will never be able to find them anywhere once released.

Honestly, it just feels like anything and everything is being targeted with the sole purpose of flipping for a profit. The world sucks.

Very cool, but I can't imagine how incredibly slow it must be to play on a NES.
